Rule over it..

Isn't it, that there have been certain times, when you feel like quitting your job, because of too much pressure and overwork. There, are times when you were driving your car in a long traffic jam, and you are in a hurry, when you notice yourself behind a slow driver, and the horn in the traffic makes you mad. You feel like banging everyone's head.

Anger, is one of a natural emotion of the body. Truth is that, everyone becomes angry but; it is expressed in different ways and degrees. When, some incidence happens, in which the expected outcome is not met, their arises a feeling of dissatisfaction, leading to anger. It leads to various act of hatred, fight, and even murder. These all can lead to sin. Not only does an emotional change, occur but; also physically, disturbs our sleep, also many changes happens in our body due to anger, like increased heart rate, blood pressure, excessive sweating, headache, dizziness. and even heart attack. It is actually a silent killer.

Everyone likes to be a ruler. To have an authority; over your servant, your workers, your wife, your husband, your children etc..etc. In every country, there is a ruler; to govern, the nation, in peace, and prosperity. Same way, bible teaches us to 'rule over' one of the greatest emotion, that is 'ANGER'

This anger has been there, from the time of our Fore forefathers. The sons of Adam and Eve did the sin. We can see in Gen 4: 5 " but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry and his face was downcast." Later, on when God saw the anger of Cain, He warned him, written in the next verse, "But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it." Thus, we see God knows that emotion of anger can sprung up in Cain, to murder his brother; that is the reason God forewarned him.

 It, is very easy and quick to become angry but, if you are a matured person, you will know to remain calm in any annoying situation. An Imagination: A pot, made of mud was sitting on a corner of the room, when a steel glass jumped, from the shelf and came close to the pot and asked, "Why do you smile, and remain cool always"? The pot, answered, "I don't get angry because, the water inside me, will become hot, and no one will like to drink from me. If, I smile, and remain cool always, the water inside me, will  be sweet and cold and everyone will drink from me. What, is the point to get angry with others? One day I have to return to mud, from where I was taken, so why should I get angry?

Famous Quote: "Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools". -Albert Einstein.

I, have written a small article, which I suppose, might not be directly related to you. But, in any point of your life, if you become angry, just think of the pot in the imagination, I wrote. If any, situation tries to hang around, just ask God to help you, He, will strengthen you, and give you the grace to overcome it.
